Remove Claude Sequential Tool Execution System Message
This change removes the temporary system message that enforced sequential tool execution for Claude models. This is now supported by the assistant
library.

- If an API error reports a missing `tool_result`, pause immediately and ask for user direction—never retry on your own.

tool_result arrives, the platform's recovery logic fails, producing 400 errors, replaying PostToolUse hook output as fake user messages, and triggering runaway loops. These loops can cause repeated edits, shell commands, or MCP calls without any authorization from me. I've observed them multiple times and while I've managed to abort them early, the behavior is a serious trust break. Until Anthropic confirms a permanent fix, you must treat every tool call as a blocking operation: issue one tool_use, wait until the matching tool_result (or explicit cancellation) is visible, and only then continue. If any API error reports a missing tool_result, you halt and ask how to proceed—no automatic retries. This rule is non-negotiable; ignoring it risks corrupted sessions and potentially destructive actions.
